About
Ancillary Support Services: Services offered in 2018 by Washington Regional Medical Center included surgery, recovery, labor and delivery, central supply, IV therapy, laboratory, radiology and special imaging, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. A number of these services were available as outpatient services. Washington Regional Medical Center also offered diabetes education programs, a sleep disorders center, a balance disorders center, a wound care clinic, and outpatient cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Washington Regional's surgery service performed 10,110 inpatient and outpatient surgeries. The central services department provided over 2 million supply items to patients being treated. Laboratory tests performed totaled 877,079. Imaging procedures that included items such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, cardiac catheterization, and nuclear images totaled 131,340 procedures. Washington Regional also performed 5,989 magnetic resonance imaging scans. The pharmacy distributed 3,166,540 items for patients, and respiratory therapy performed tests and treatments totaling 659,537 relative values. The wound care center performed 13,114 treatments. Pastoral care, case management, palliative/supportive care, and volunteer services were offered at no cost to patients. Our chaplains, who worked closely with local ministers, served as liaisons between patients and their faith groups to provide spiritual and emotional support when needed. Case management helped patients and families locate community resources, home care, and financial assistance when needed after leaving the hospital. The palliative/supportive care team helped patients with complex health conditions to understand and manage their treatment options. Volunteer services provided assistance to patients and visitors throughout the hospital, most notably at the information desk and in waiting areas. General Inpatient Services: Washington Regional Medical Center is committed to providing a wide range of services to meet the general healthcare needs of its service population. General inpatient services in 2018 included internal medicine, geriatric health, obstetrics and gynecology, neonatal intensive care, cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, intensive care, coronary intensive care, stroke care, neurosurgery, oncology, and orthopedics. Also included in general inpatient services are nursing services, nursing education, admissions services, medical records, quality assurance, case coordination, and central scheduling. Washington Regional's Women and Infants Center continued to serve area families with 17 labor and delivery rooms, 28 private mother-baby rooms, a 34-bed neonatal intensive care unit and a dedicated pharmacy. Families benefited from the Angel Eye camera system as well as a Milk Lab staffed by technologists specially trained in infant nutrition. In 2018 Washington Regional provided the community with the area's first Neuro Intensive Care Unit to best serve patients who are recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury or neurological illness. With 20 patient beds, the Neuro ICU features advanced neurological tools such as continuous electroencephalography, dimmable lights, ceiling-mounted lifts for repositioning patients, bedside monitors and a nurse call system that helps to identify patients with certain risk factors. Plus, in 2018 Washington Regional added two more neurosurgeons as well as an interventional neuroradiologist. The interventional neuroradiologist - the only one in the region - offered minimally invasive options for diagnosing and treating conditions of the brain, neck and spine. Washington Regional continued to provide "intensivists" - physicians who specialize in caring for patients in the critical care unit. These highly trained and experienced medical specialists coordinated the care provided by nurses, respiratory therapists and others as needed by the patient and provided continuous clinical assessment. In 2018 Washington Regional also provided 17 hospitalists, physicians who specialize in caring for hospitalized patients, to our community. They worked as partners with our physicians and nursing staff to provide the highest standard of care during a patient's hospital stay. This hands-on approach has been shown to not only help prevent medical complications, but also to reduce hospital stays and to lower costs. Washington Regional Medical Center maintained its Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers in 2018. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports a higher incidence of survival and recovery for stroke patients receiving care at primary stroke centers compared to those treated in hospitals without this type of specialized care. Overall, Washington Regional had 16,367 acute admissions in 2018 and provided 62,953 days of inpatient acute care. This included 9,568 intensive care days and cardiac critical care days. The average length of an inpatient hospital stay in 2018 was 3.85 days. There were 2,534 babies born at Washington Regional in 2018. Emergency Services: Washington Regional's emergency physicians and staff, backed by the resources of more than 484 physicians on the medical staff, provided medical services to 57,640 patients in 2018. Washington Regional's emergency department provided services regardless of patients' ability to pay. Plus, Washington Regional continued to provide 24/7 coverage by a fellowship-trained stroke care provider in the emergency department. Also, as an accredited Chest Pain Center, in 2018 Washington Regional ensured that patients who arrive at the hospital with chest pain or other heart attack symptoms receive the rapid treatment necessary during the critical window of time when the integrity of the heart muscle can be preserved. Washington Regional maintained full accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care as a Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI and Resuscitation. Physicians and staff also provided a public service by responding to news media requests for community health information such as accident prevention, emergency management and avoiding weather-related illnesses. The emergency department is capable of providing care for as many as 70,000 patient visits annually with its 37 treatment rooms. As the area's leading Trauma Center, Washington Regional provided the highest level of emergency care in the Northwest Arkansas region.
